We've partnered with URBN Surf to develop an innovative new 2 hour pool format.
The format is run as follows:
- up to 36 athletes in the draw, per side
- split into 4 groups of 9 athletes
- each group gets 25 mins in the pool - 9 sets of 9 waves
- one round only - no progression
- judges score waves 2, 3, and 5 in each set, so athletes in the water get a good mix of comp surfing & free surfing
- each athlete's top 2 scores count toward to the overall leaderboard
Clubs and groups can book the pool to run this 2-hour comp format - just contact james@urbnsurfmelbourne.com for details.
